Ari is Technical Director at Rovio Entertainment, who are most commonly known as the makers of the extremely popular mobile game, Angry Birds.

Riak on AWS at Rovio

Running Riak or any database in a virtual environment is more challenging than running it on physical boxes. Rovio have used Riak in varying use cases in services of different scale and requirements. Sometimes, we’ve taken the hard way to learn how to implement our use cases correctly considering the possibilities and restrictions the environment and the tools have set to us.

Doors open 6:30pm with automatic entry only for people who have pre-registered.
